I got a ton of compliments!
This dress was so comfortable and I was able to wear a regular bra by pinning the straps in the back. I love the way the dress kicked when I walked. I could have gone a size down, but I liked the added room for comfort and length.

Gorgeous in person and in photos!
I wore this to a library gala for work and I got a ton of compliments. I was very glad I read the reviews before renting and had a lace bandeau ready in case it was low cut, which it definitely was! If this hadn't been a work event, I would have worn it without the lace, because my boobs had never looked better, but the lace underneath was really beautiful too and a bit more modest/appropriate for the event. It was very comfortable and the fabric was lighter weight than I expected. I wish someone had gotten a photo of me!

Great dress with a weird bust
I wore this to my cousin's rehearsal dinner and I got a lot of compliments. The fit is very flattering. Like others, I did have trouble with the low cut neckline. I had to pin it and it bunched a little weird.

Classic elegance
First of all, this dress was awesome. There's the perfect amount of stretch so it fit me beautifully. The back was great and it photographed well. I'm going to be a bit picky though. The hems on both of the dresses (size 10 and 12) were funky. The lace on the 10 had been hemmed, so there was no longer that pretty scalloped edge. And the lining on the 12 was about 2 inches longer than the lace. I wore the 12 anyway because it fit better, but the bottom of the dress would have been much longer if the lace was the right length.

Just okay
It's a pretty dress, but overall it's just okay. The fabric wasn't as expensive looking as I would like, the hem fell a little weird and it didn't accentuate my small waist like I hoped it would.

Too much going on
This dress is super cute, but it just didn't work for me. I'm pretty curvy and a bit bottom heavy and the seaming detail just over-emphasized it to a point where it didn't look right. My boyfriend commented that I looked like I was ready to bust out of the dress. I would only recommend this dress for straighter women without curves.

Better in person!
This dress is amazing. I was worried that the jeweled piece on the side would be a little cheap looking, but it looks great. It's a very chic dress, does wonderful things to my curves and I can't wait to wear it again.

Too revealing
The dress fit well and was flattering, but I felt like way too much of my chest was exposed. I would have had to at least tape this in place so I didn't have a wardrobe malfunction, but even then, I think it was too revealing for the events I would attend and for my style.

Great dress, awkward fit.
This dress is a really great shade of red and I love the jaquard fabric. However, being a pear shaped woman, the dress (as often happens) was too big on top for it to fit on bottom. I could easily solve the problem with a padded push-up. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because the skirt is rather narrow. It looks great, very flattering, but it would be hard to move in it.

Great dress
If you are pear shaped, I would suggest going down a size, which sounds weird, but here's why: The pleating on the skirt (if at all too large) makes you look hippy. However, the smaller size, which was more fitted was very flattering. I love the sequins and the color, which make it elegant, but still flashy.

Gorgeous dress!
I got this dress as part of an at-home try on and it is amazing. The fit is beautiful and flattering. I felt gorgeous in it. The color is fantastic and the slight sheen to the fabric makes it very elegant. The only thing that I wasn't completely happy with was the hem. It looked like it had been taken out and redone to make it longer and the original crease in the fabric was still there. Update: I wore this to a ball and it was perfect. The fit was very flattering and I got a ton of compliments.

Amazing fit!
This dress is absolutely gorgeous in person. The boat neck balanced my hips for a perfectly slim, hourglass look. It's elegant and classic and could be worn to so many different events.

Loved this bracelet. So hard to send it back!

Loved the sparkles.
This dress look adorable on the model, but I had problems for my body type. I'm fairly pear shaped, which was the first problem. The large was way too big in the chest, but the medium was so short it showed my butt cheeks. I ended up wearing the medium and pinning it to be a shirt length with skinny jeans. It looked adorable, but would have hoped for a better fit to begin with.
